   Is the browser truly isolated if X11 forwarding is being used? Edit to clarify that this is an actual question and I don’t know the answer.

   If there are genetic factors that predispose certain behaviors/traits, those would almost certainly be used for targeting marketing/manipulation campaigns.

   I suspect change will have to begin at the state level. Does anyone know which state has taken the most steps toward universal health care?

   Interesting update: > We've received a preliminary explanation from the data center that suggests that a battery test went horribly wrong due to human error and wiped out at least the entire floor we're on. Possibly more. It&#x

   Nice to see an accurate (offsite) status page!

   I wonder if this post would get more traction if it was submitted as a Show HN. You’re (meaning the submitter) the author and the game is free, so I think it meets the requirements for Show HN.

   I had never heard of navigator.storage.persist(). I will give it a try, thanks!

    Thanks! Honestly, comments like this probably have a more positive impact on me than the small amount of money I could have made by selling the game :)

    Wow, that link indicates that members likely won’t get anything, even their $5 share, back. So who is benefitting from the sale?

    Good question. From context, maybe they meant "diverse"?

    I published a not-super-popular (edit: but free) esoteric programming game on Steam and of the < 100 (Steam) hardware survey responses for people who have played my game, I'm seeing closer to 5% on Linux (edit to add: my game doesn&

    One issue with publishing a browser-based game that this article glosses over is: managing save data. The browser provides Local Storage, but that isn't reliable as a "source of truth" since browsers (mostly on iOS, I think)

    Given the history of data breaches, my first thought is that this could have been a scam. For anyone else in this position (esp. if you’re fairly certain it’s not a scam), here is some info on what you can do: https://consumer.

    Note: This was definitely not correct! JSON-RPC apparently started in 2005.

    I would assume DAP predates (and possibly motivated) JSONRPC (edit: so it might have been working off of a draft spec). Hopefully someone knowledgeable can comment.

    As an additional data point, my usual OOM experience on Linux is also a completely frozen system until I get frustrated enough to power cycle the machine. Has anyone transitioned from this being their observed behavior to something more tol

    Erring on the side of privacy by removing EXIF metadata seems like the right default to me.

    I assumed this would be unusable on my phone, but it actually works great! And nice work on the load time. Every time a non-photorealistic game takes more than a few seconds to load on my desktop, I get unreasonably annoyed. Note: I don’t t

    I was wondering if this was some tricky new scam, but after reading the notice it's probably nothing new for people on here--the infographic's first phase of the scam is: "Tech Support Imposter: Pretends to be technical suppo

    Thanks! Yeah, it's subjective, but I thought the chances of someone making the same progression (LMMS to ???) on HN were pretty high. Of course, I left out tons of context that might have helped (e.g. some people want to make music liv

    Related question: any suggestions on what to try next after LMMS? I was planning to try Reaper or FL Studio. My biggest complaints with LMMS are: doesn’t support VST3, can’t see notes for multiple tracks at the same time (although I saw a “

    “CL” is probably “change list” — I think that term for a patch is from Perforce.

    One more: the Epic store web site scales games’ images, leading to ugly scaling artifacts—something I haven’t seen on a major web site since the 90s.
